6309 Albert Road: Included in Emily Ardoin’s 2014 thesis “Fais do-do to ‘Hippy Ti-Yo’: Dance Halls of South Louisiana”: “Levy’s Place is located in a rural area outside Abbeville that featured zydeco and blues. It was opened in the 1930s and closed in 2010. The building is of frame construction, has a front gabled roof, a half round parapet, and has a concrete pier foundation. The dance floor is constructed of wood strips and the ceiling has wood strips and acoustic tile on additions. The bar and dance floor are located in the same room. The exterior is in fair to poor condition. The integrity is excellent. Still furnished. Christmas decorations remain. Closed recently. Owners live on property. Had trail rides.”
